Happy customer
January 23, 2024

I needed to get copies of the last few years of my tax returns. I couldn't be verified! I had mo ed, and new phone number with an ID Theft alert on my account I really thought this process was going to be much more difficult than it was. ID me made everything very simple and got me access almost immediately with the IRS

I don't believe the military should have do submit this once a year as these men and women give up their lives for all of us.

It was easy!
January 23, 2024

I tried to login to the IRS website but couldn't until ID.me identified me. It was an easy and quick process. I followed its clear, concise instructions-took the selfie video and BAM! I was identified and was able to access the IRS website! So if you need to get your identity verified- DO IT!

Very easy way to creat security
January 23, 2024

When I realized I needed to go through this process to log into the IRS site I was at first irritated. Within just a few minutes I saw how well thought out the process was and I became fascinated by the ease the process was for me to complete.

A very convenient option
January 23, 2024

I am not very skilled with the use of technology but I understand that it is much more practical and faster to process important matters so I think it is a good option when registering online to be able to verify identity with ID.me because they are simple steps and very insurance to protect our information. I recommend them to everyone

I got scared for a while and stopped when they asked for my social security number! So I researched them and they are directly linked to IRS!

Dehumanizing
January 30, 2024

The California government required that I verify my identity with ID.me in order to begin a disability insurance claim.
The ID.me program ran smoothly, but required that I have access to a video capable device, Internet access and email account. Luckily I did, but many in my rural area do not. The CA EDD can afford to contract with ID.me, who can subsequently afford to pay people to conduct surveys of my online experience, but they can't pay workers to answer the phone.
This is a hurdle and an affront to the poor.
California can do better.
